Our spiritual story without knowing Christ is bleak, yet because of Christ’s work we have been invited into a new story, where we live not in darkness but in the kingdom of Jesus Christ. As the nation of Israel was brought out of captivity in Egypt, so God brings us out of captivity from sin and into life and freedom in Him.
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
